Year 34… its not an exciting year like 21, 30, or 50. In fact I don’t think anyone really cares about the year 34. All I know is, 34 means I am getting one year older and and my husband is frolicking around at the fact that for the next 13 days I am 2 years older then him. WHAT-EV!

Anyways, I guess if I cant change the fact that I am getting a year older, I can at least try to make myself feel younger.

AHHHHHHHHH, No No No not like this!

Im ready to try some new things out for my 34th year of being alive.

I want to do yoga. The only yoga I have done was from the book “Yoga for dummies” which lasted me about 2 days and I never looked back. It’s hard for me to workout at home, Im like a kid with ADD who just saw a butterfly while you’re trying to have a conversation with him.

Pilates too, I have always wanted to take the class but my wallet wont let me, maybe I can skip buying the shoes and take a class. Ummmm, probably not going to happen. Maybe I’ll skip a few meals instead.

Schedule mommy recovery weekends, yeah… that sounds like a good plan, who’s with me???

Learn another language, I read that you live longer if your bilengual.

Do a better job at remembering birthdays, that way I can see others growing a year older too. HA, HA

OK, OK, what I think is important here is that I want this year to be exciting whether its taking care of myself or spending quality time with the family.

Im putting this in writing so that I have a higher chance of actually doing it. Yes, I am referencing “The Secret”

I got a couple sick chicky’s in the house and thought I would make some soup. Chicken tortilla sounded good so I pulled out the cookbook and went to town on a recipe I havent tried yet. Im so excited about this creation that I want to share it with you.

Before I head out for the night and get to drunk to remember, eat more food then my stomach can handle and celebrate 2013 I would like to look back on a few people who have been an inspiration to me this year.

Now, Let me clarify… All of my friends have inspired me through pictures, conversations, comments, and stories but there are a few that really stood out.

The Harrison Family

Shannon, a loving wife, mom, friend, and a great human being who has always been my inspiration to be a great mom and have fun doing it. Shannon taught herself photography and started her own gig while raising 3 adorb littles while her husband Chris works full time being my boss.

Shannon, thanks for being you. You inspire me to teach myself new things and remind me that if you can do it with 3 kids I can do it with 1. Don’t stop doing photography and post more pics of your kids. xoxo

Chris, a loving dad, husband and the best boss I have ever had. What makes Chris great?!?! he’s real with me, challenges me, and can relate to me personally and professionally. Chris has empowered me through my career and seen me succeed to a promotion I received this year.

Chris, don’t stop being you and keep telling your stories. Thanks for Everything

Krista Graham

She is one of my favorite friends. Although we don’t hang out a lot, or girl talk over the phone I enjoy the small times that we do spend together more then ever. Krista is a free spirited woman who will fly to any part of the world at the drop of a hat. She is not afraid to take risks and she always finds a way to do whatever she wants whenever she want and remain successful.

Krista, You have inspired me to be more spontaneous and travel more. I cant wait till we take a trip together.xoxo

Austin Tx. NY, NY. here I come!!!

Amber Lewis

Ohhhh AMBAAAA, we have only known each other for a year or so but damn… a lot went on during this year. Amber is a mama of a beautiful little lady, she’s married to a British man, and is an awesome interior designer that started her own business from the ground up. You might know her as Amber Interiors. Amber has introduced me to new things like TV shows, drinking beergaritas, and any social media one may need to know to survive in this world. Knowing her and hearing her story has inspired me to start up my own little gig. Im not really sure what that will be yet but one day Ill figure it out. My favorite thing about Amber is she don’t give a F@!*about what other people think.

Amber, thanks for your fun corky personality and making life exciting. One day I inspire to be in boots similar to yours. xoxo

Ashly a loving mama married to Kyle a loving daddy who have been battling their daughter’s cancer all year long. Just this December they have been relieved of this nasty demon and are onto bigger and better things. Ashly and Kyle are two of the hardest working and passionate individuals I know. They have tought me that when times get tough you just have to keep on keeping on. They never once gave up or looked back.

Ashly & Kyle, I admire your strength through this year. You have inspired me to look at life differently and understand that theres no mountain high enough to get in the way. Thank you for all you do and for producing one of the sweetest, strongest little ladies I know. xoxo

Everyone, have a safe and fun New Year and let 2014 be the best year for you!

Grease a large cookie sheet and line with wax/parchment paper. Spread batter onto the wax/parchment paper.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until spongy.

Lay out a clean hand towel, flip the cookie sheet over on top of the towel so the waxed paper is on the top. Discard the cookie sheet. Peel the waxed paper off of the pumpkin cake and roll the sheet of cake in towel. Let stand for 10-15 mins.

In the mean time make the filling.

Combine all filling ingredients into a bowl and whisk till fluffy.

Unroll the cake and discard the towel. Evenly spread the filling on the cake and role back up.

Holy crap… before Halloween even ended stores were setting up Christmas stuff as if Santa moved Christmas up a month.

Jeeeesh!

If you’re anything like me you are currently thinking your kid has way to many toys and the last thing you should do is play Santa and bring more toys into the house.

Or…

You think about Christmas and wonder why it has become a day of getting whatever you want and way to much of it vs. what its really about. I know, I sound like an old person but for real, its getting out. of. con-trol!

This year we decided to do the itty bitty Christmas list. I think its important that the kiddo still gets a few gifts for Christmas, I mean… Santa has to leave something behind doesn’t he, but I don’t want it to become this cray ordeal where he gets whatever he wants and expects it every year.
